nfsd: Only set PF_LESS_THROTTLE when really needed.

Browse source

PF_LESS_THROTTLE has a very specific use case: to avoid deadlocks
and live-locks while writing to the page cache in a loop-back
NFS mount situation.

It therefore makes sense to *only* set PF_LESS_THROTTLE in this
situation.
We now know when a request came from the local-host so it could be a
loop-back mount.  We already know when we are handling write requests,
and when we are doing anything else.

So combine those two to allow nfsd to still be throttled (like any
other process) in every situation except when it is known to be
problematic.
